House Speaker Paul Ryan reacted to the release of leaked audio of him criticizing then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

The audio, from an October 10, 2016 conference call with his Republican caucus members, was recorded a few days after a leaked Access Hollywood tape of Trump saying he could fondle women made the rounds.

"I am not going to defend Donald Trump. Not now, not in the future... I have real concerns with our nominee... I am doing what I think is best for you, the members," Ryan said on the tape.
